Hey @altmetric.com, I've seen you post a lot about the research discourse happening on Bluesky versus X / Twitter, but are there any stats about research happening on Bluesky vs LinkedIn?
It seems that, at least in my field of cancer genetics, most people went over to LinkedIn 😞

Is anyone in #oncology using "precision cancer medicine" over "precision oncology"? We've used both interchangeably for a long time but, according to Google Trends, it looks like "precision oncology" is the preferred term.

I've had template powerpoint files for @nature.com 's figure size preferences on my computer for ages. So, I finally put them into a public @github.com repository. Enjoy! 🎨 github.com/brendanreard...

Today I received my 10 year pin from @danafarber.bsky.social. It has been such a wonderful place to grow as a scientist, and more importantly as a person. I really won the lottery with @vanallenlab.bsky.social.

This is wonderful. I am amazed at how easy starter packs and feeds make it to find accounts of interest. Thank you @boston.gov and @bsky.app!
We've launched an official City of Boston starter pack to make it easy to follow City departments. This starter pack will stay up to date as more teams join the Bluesky community. Give them a follow!

Watched #Interstellar last night and it is 100% worth the IMAX experience. I did not remember that Timothée Chalamet grows up to be Casey Affleck though!
#Interstellar grossed $4.4M during its 10th anniversary re-release 💰
IMAX says they’re going to add more showings

One topic that I've thought a lot about over the years is how to maintain a sense of progress in #science. Many delightful friends and colleagues have entertained my ramblings on this at one point or another. I previously referred to this as "how to guard against existential anxiety (in science)"

Visited the King Arthur Flour pop up on Newbury street in #Boston and learned about their climate blend, and commitment to sourcing 100% of their flour from regenerative farming grown wheat 🤩 They also have many cute ornaments.

Is it true that photons truly live forever?
In all the Universe, only a few particles are eternally stable. The photon, the quantum of light, has an infinite lifetime. Or does it?
